The common ethnonym and autonym is horvátok (Croats). In Baranya, there is a community of Croats with Bosnian Catholic origin which is known as bosnyákok (Bosniaks) (Croatian: Bo��njaci, singular Bošnjak; Hungarian: Bosnyákok, in Hungarian literature also Baranyai bosnyákok). They live in Baranya, in the city of Pécs,^{[4][5][6][7][8][9]} also in the villages Kökény, Szemely,^[10] Udvar,^[11] Szalánta (they came there in the 18th century; today they make 32% of the village population), Pécsudvard,^[12] Németi, Pogány^[13] et cetera. Until recently, Croat Bosniak Catholics were the significant community in Áta, Szőke and Szőkéd, but those Croats have significantly magyarized.

In the village of Hercegszántó there is a community of Šokci (Hungarian: sokácok). In Bács-Kiskun, the community of Bunjevci (Hungarian: bunyevácok) declare as Bunjevci or Croats. Croats immigrated in the Early modern period.^{[citation needed]}
